Nude Glam

13:14

I love colorful makeups, but I almost prefer nude looks. They go with everything and look like a better version of your own face color and eyes. For this looks I wanted to create something shimmery that you could wear on New Year's Eve, but I still wanted it to be very much wearable. I just love the comfort of this look, but it still adds a bit of glam.

I started by applying eyeshadow primer and sealing it in with a bone colored matte shade. Then I used a very light neutral matte brown in the crease and I deepened it with a darker red toned matte shade. I wanted to bring out the crease a bit more with a redish matte shade just to give it even more warmth.

To add some darkness to the eye, I chose a chocolate matte brown in the crease, but focused it mostly on the outer corner. On the lid I applied shimmery copper shade. This one looks gorgeous. I used the same matte brown shades on the lower lash line as I did in the crease.

This look definitely needed fierce winged liner. Around the inner part of the lower lash line and in the inner corner I applied light gold shimmer shade as a base and went over it with light gold glitter in a cream form. This way it won't crease up your eyeshadow as it would on the lid, but it still gives you lovely sparkle that you can rock all night long. I'm kind of sad that the camera doesn't pick up the beautiful sparkles that this glitter gives off.

I finished the eye makeup with lots of mascara to add volume and definition. You can apply some falsies, but I decided to keep it more wearable.

On my face I used a mixture of hydrating foundation and a BB cream. Then I concealed with concealer and powdered with a pressed powder. I also added bronzer, because it just goes well with the warmth of eye makeup. I chose very light golden highlighter and light dirty peach shade as a blush.

On the lips I also went with a nude, but warm peachy and glossy liquid lipstick. With this eye makeup you can totally wear any bold color, but since I know I'll be eating a lot and because my lips are really dry, I went for something more comfortable.

This is a nude option for the longest night of the year, if you choose to dress up. I'll probably spend it at home doing what I love the most - pampering, cuddling and eating. So this makeup look would be perfect for my kind of night. What are your plans? Either for makeup or others.
